1t was the sense OF the meeting, that owing
to the severity of tho weather in this Sec

society should confine their celebration to
experimenting and vocal and instrumental
music, to wind up with a grand ball. The
society will be known as St. David's.

adventures and religious beliefs. 1t
was . charming trial, and
whom counsel had exhausted themselves in
~propounding questions and the last witness
had bssn squiesed for all he was worth and
and had retired sick and disguised, the at
torneys gave wing to their oratory and
their eagles till the dropping eyslids in the

their birds from tho heavens. The ease

oils Rejoice.

While Philipsburs has great expectations.
and her residents never fail to impress on
visitors the fact that she IL bound to be .
second Butte, that she will within two
years be the chief city In Montana, that
her every prospect hole is sure to develop
into . Granite Mountain, il capital would
but take hold, there is no denying the
fact that she has two or three great mines,
even if she has not got a newspaper. The
recent completion of the 40-stamp addi-
ton to the Granite Mountain mill was the
occasion Of great rejoicing among the
thousand-odd people who dwell in Philips
burg and her bitter rival, Granite.
Mr.. rlummer, the compaDy's superin-
tendsnt, invited q number Of the more
prominent citizens OF Philipsburg to wit
ward banqueted them at the company's
office. In replying to a toast he stated
that when he took charget two years ago. the
stock was selling at So. 80 per share, now it
is worth $57; aud with the addition OF tie
forty stamps it would be safe to say that
the stock would be worth 500 within the
year. After giving this statistical iDforma-
ton he tafied the Philipsburgers present
thusly: NOW that forty stamps arc
added to the company's property, I hopeit
may be the means Of binding more closely
the bonds OF friendship between the Gran
ito Mountain people and those of Philips
burg. 1t would afford me great pleasure
to know that there is no clashing OF inter
ests; that each feels the interests Of one are
those OF the other; that the prosperity OF
the Granite means benefit for all, and it will
be my desire in the future, as 1t q been in
the past, to avoid any matters or meas
ures that will be likely to dissolve the mu-
tua! friendships which your presence and
sentiments assure me OF or this occasion,
and which I believe you, like myself, are
DESTROYS should exist between the Granite
Mountain Mining Company and your peo-
pie. and il I am a party to weaken the
kindly relations mutually, I might say
pledged between us to-day. attribute it to
head and not to my heart"
The above reads nicely, hut the manage
ment OF the Granite Mountain cares but
little for the material interests OF the town
Of Philipsburg. Every dollar produced by
that great property; except the amount
paid out for labor and supplies. goes to
st. Louis, Missouri, never to return. Not
one OF the large stock holders, except DR..
Merrill. lives in Montana, and not one OF
Philipsburg. The tow will grow, and be

1HE RESOLUTIONS.
WaEREAs, It has been the practice In
this Territory to employ women and
minors in the distribution and sale OF
liquors; and,
Whereas, Such employment 10 tho most
degrading to woman and d~emoraliSing to
Whereas, the hope OF the coming genera
ton lies in the purity and integrity OF the
home, where woman 10 supreme; and,
Whereas, The perpetuity and strength
OF our government rests upon the morals
and intelligence Of the people; therefore.
Resolved, That We urge upon the Lesis-
lature now in session in Helena the impor-
tance Of passing such wholesome laws as
will make such immoral employment OF
women and minors in and about all places
where intoxicating liquors are sold illegal
and unlawful.
Resolved, That We ask hat the law now
on the statute book relating to the sale OF
intoxicants to minors be SO amended as to
prohibit their visiting or f~requenting such
places.
Resolved, That q copy Of these pream-
bic and resolutions be sent to tho House
and Council.
Resolved. That the chair appoint a COM
mittee of three upon the subject OF appro-
pirate legislation, who ehall confer with the
members from this and other counties and
render them such assistance in this matter
as may be within their power.
Resolved, That we hereby empower the
committee to take such steps as they may
deem necessary to carry out the object OF
this meeting. II. NJ. PATERSON.

After the resolutions had been read Col.
Bradshaw rose to speak upon them. 1t is
impossible, in q brief synopsis Of his ad-
mirable speech, to do justice to the Colo
nel's effort. It was tho speech OF the eve
ming. 1t was, without doubt, one Of the
finest displays of finished oratory ever
Witnessed in. Montana. Commanding in
presence, expressive in gesture. logical in
thought, and almost faultless in delivery,
the Colonel held his audience. spell-bound,
and when, as he often did, brought out
his points Enthusiastically and prominently,
the audience gave vent to their pent-up
plause. It was a rich, intellectual treat,
displaying an intimate knowledge of the
subject obtained only by the keen observer,
the student OF human nature and the
thoughtful mind. It was a brilliant effort,
and most heartily enjoyed by all.
While the Colonel was speaking the mem.
bers Of the I. 0. G. T. Of the city in regalia
marched in q body in the theater and &C.
cupied seats reserved for them. They left
before the close of the meeting to attend an
election for officers at their lodge room.
Councilman Richards, who bad come up
the stage while Colonel Bradshaw was
speaking, vas called upon, and after excus-
ing himself for his late arrival made q few
remarks in which he assured the meeting
that the legislative assembly would favor
ably consider any measure looking to the
end the meeting had in view. The gentle
was cordially greeted and heartily
during his brief speech. After
music by the band the m Getting adjourned.
